Adobe completes acquisition of AI upscaler Topaz Labs

The deal folds an Emmy-winning restoration engine into Photoshop and Firefly rather than replacing them.

• Adobe completed its acquisition of Topaz Labs, the AI video and image enhancement company, after first announcing the deal in June 2026.
• Topaz Labs makes AI models that upscale, denoise and restore video and images while preserving natural detail; its video technology won a 2025 Emmy Award.
• The deal was valued at $340 million, according to TV Tech, though Adobe itself did not disclose financial terms.
• Topaz's proprietary Neurostream technology can cut the VRAM memory needed to run large AI models by up to 95%, letting them run on-device or via Topaz's cloud.
• Topaz says its tools are used by 20 of the world's 50 largest companies, with standalone subscriptions ranging from $12 to $34 a month.
• Topaz Labs will keep operating as a standalone brand with its own apps, while CEO Eric Yang joins Adobe's Digital Video and Audio team.
• Owning rather than licensing Topaz gives Adobe a proven, award-winning upscaling engine to court broadcasters and studios modernizing legacy archives and AI-generated video at scale.
